A gem of a GIVEAWAY! Enter to win a Family Fun Package to Britannia Mine Museum

Just up the Sea to Sky Highway on the way to Whistler, the Britannia Mine Museum is a family-friendly ‘gem’ everyone should experience. The good news is, we’re giving away a Family Fun Package to Britannia Mine Museum valued at $215 so one lucky family can explore the mine all year long!

What you can do at the mine

Across the globe, few, if any, mines are open for the general public to inspect. Britannia is different.

Once the biggest copper mine in the British Empire, the Britannia Mine Museum been preserved as a National Historic site. Now, families climb aboard a rumbling mine train and chug into the dark. Inside and out of the tunnel, the mysteries of mining are explained, thanks to smiling, knowledgeable tour guides. Each one of them likes children, maybe because they never have to say “don’t touch”.

Britannia’s hands-on visit includes the fun of panning for gold (you find it, you keep it). Spread out over 10 acres with a brand new viewing platform, everyone can stretch their legs then re-charge in the cozy and comfortable coffee shop.  Trip Advisor gave it 4 and a half stars. Chances are, you’ll agree.

New view this year

Foundations on the freshly restored Howe Sound Deck is a new, permanent, outdoor, open-air exhibit located near the entrance of the Train Pavilion. Sitting 40 feet above the Sea to Sky Highway with breathtaking panoramic views of Howe Sound, Foundations explores Britannia’s colourful history and how mining has contributed to the community and province.
